Calculate total subscription costs: monthly and yearly spend across services — see annual total, per day and waste from unused subs.
Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Subscription creep accumulates quietly: the average household now carries five to ten recurring payments averaging $10–15 each, so the monthly arithmetic of count times average quickly reaches triple digits. Annual cost multiplies monthly by twelve — $120 monthly is $1,440 yearly — and the calculator explicitly separates total commitments from actively used value to expose waste.
The waste row estimates dollars still billed for services not used in the current cycle. Cancelling even two $14.99 services saves $360 yearly, often more than a single investing contribution compounds to over a decade. Audit quarterly, downgrade tiers that overlap in function, and prefer annual billing only when cancellation friction is low.

Subscription creep accumulates quietly: the average household now carries five to ten recurring payments averaging $10–15 each, so the monthly arithmetic of count times average quickly reaches triple digits. Annual cost multiplies monthly by twelve — $120 monthly is $1,440 yearly — and the calculator explicitly separates total commitments from actively used value to expose waste. Formula: Monthly = count*avg; Yearly = monthly*12; Daily = monthly/30; Waste = unused*avg*12
